(CNN) – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin mocked Senate Republicans in a biting statement Friday over the Senate's passage of an immigration bill this week.

Her Facebook and PAC website feature a photo of Palin and her husband, Todd, with people sitting behind them–all of whom have a serious look on their face. Superimposed on the photo was her statement: "Great job, GOP establishment."

The bill, which includes a pathway to citizenship for most of the 11 million undocumented workers in the country, cleared the Senate Thursday in a 68-32 vote, with 14 Republicans voting in favor of the measure. It now heads to the House with an unfavorable future.

"You've just abandoned the Reagan Democrats with this amnesty bill," Palin's statement read. "It was the loss of working class voters in swing states that cost us the 2012 election, not the Hispanic vote. Legal immigrants respect the rule of law and can see how self-centered a politicians must be to fill this amnesty bill with favors, earmarks and crony capitalists' pork, and call it good. You disrespect Hispanics with your assumption that they desire ignoring the rule of law."

Palin, who returned to her role as a paid pundit at the Fox News Channel earlier this month, has been outspoken against the measure, even offering criticism of Republicans she has previously praised, such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
